Research Data Analyst (6-Month Fixed-Term Contract)
Role Overview
This is a 6-month Fixed-Term Contractual role.

This role supports that work by keeping our transmission infrastructure records up to date, and by collecting and organising power network data for ongoing research projects.
This is a research and data role.
You'll be doing both secondary research and primary market validation to track infrastructure developments, checking information against reliable sources, and keeping shared records current.
